Laughing Boy Records Presents:
An Organically Homegrown Green Mountain Rock & Rastabilly Trio of Free-
Range Human Beings hell bent on doing it all on their own.
Trying not conform to any of the kitchee and sometimes degrading “labels” while
still paying respectful homage to the greats that have helped form their core,
Rick Redington & The Luv deliver shows with a style and class and heartfelt
achievement that has taken years of wins and losses to develop.
A new record called “The Circus” is being released first on West Coast Radio,
back to Vermont and now broadcast worldwide. This new effort finds R.R.&The
Luv in somevery good company. Besides the usual line-up of Rick /Vocals &
StringedThings, Heather Lynne/Upright & Downright Basses and Blake Gowan
on all things Drummable, in The Circus we find guest appearances by members
of Legendary New Riders Of The Purple Sage’s own Buddy Cage/Pedal Steel
and David Nelson/Mandolin as well as Professor Frank Chase on “Cathouse
Piano” along with Walter White on “Savage Horns”. The Luv is also very pleased
to be joined by our three Wonderous Kids Zoe Mcfadden (Heather’s daughter)
and Ben & Maya Redington, (RR children) on Backup Vocals & Too Much Fun!
Nearly three years in the making during one of the most challenging economic
times has produced an album of some considerable listening weight. Recorded
at Mount Hollywood Studio in the Heart of Vermont and mixed with care by our
friend Cooper Anderson, this collection of acts is strung together not unlike the
ragged side-show circuses of the early days and reveals its worn out edges with
much pride.
The Greatest Show On Earth is usually that which twists and turns itself around
and one day shows itself to you in some freak show mirror reflected as your own
strange yet
wonderful life!
The Circus Ring Leader Rick Redington has released Six Albums to date and
this very well could be THE BIG SHOW we have all been waiting for! Side Show
Freaks Heather & Blake’s first studio effort shows them at the top of their game
with sweet Bass & Drum Rhythms that take us from one end of the globe to the
other and keep Spreadin’ The Luv!
